In this season of Alone...

So I've been watching Alone on the History channel. For those that don't know the premise you have 10 participants and they are left to themselves, 10 survival items and some camera equipment to the middle of fucking nowhere to survive. I love it, anyway. This season there's a dude that has been surviving purely on body fat and some gathering. Tried fishing, exploring for hunting and trapping, more fishing, gathered some onions and that's about it, 50 something days not eating shit, in the wild, and winter creeping in, each snow saying the Stark motto louder "Winter is coming", this particular guy has had 50+ failures, but manages to hang on because he has focused on the little wins. He actually says, no matter how many failures he has faced, he'll just keep shooting for the little wins and go on the next day and hope for the best.

I've learned so much from that little bit, I've actually talked about it with the team quite often, how we need to focus on the little wins when we were all gritting things out in late June and practically all of July, when I think it was slow for everyone. But focusing on the amount of conversation we're accumulating definitely helps me feel better when a day that might have been tough on the phones.

Do you y'all ever notice that sometimes when the grind accumulates failures a little more often than wanted, and we refocus our energy on the positives no matter how small, it allows you to find the grit to bounce back?

Yeah yeah yeah, baited you into a real post and not a shit post. Sorry, not sorry.
